Every day is a new journey. Helping clients with skin conditions is not only a major thing to them but yourself. Through treatments you gain their trust by providing them with solutions to on going problems. As well having the ability to educate them on how to properly take care of their skin. Seeing the end result and how much of an impact you have made in itself is rewarding beyond anything I can put in words. This field is vital and can potentially help keep a client from having to see a dermatologist to be put on medications. We are the preventative service that people seek out for solutions. You get to help build someone's confidence and watch them glow as they leave. I love my career choice. Its not just a job. Do what you have a passion for, something that makes an impact as well makes you feel good when your day is done.

Geri’s Answer

Hello!

Here are some pros & cons to your question, "What's it like to be a Paramedical Esthetician?"

Pros: Very flexible with part time positions available; being under the supervision of physician allows you do perform more advanced skincare treatments; medical benefits; commission & salary; median salary in the US for a Clinical Esthetician is $47,300 but the range typically falls between 42,800-$54,300.

Cons: Depending on the volume of patients in a medical practice, it could take several years to build your patient following; your appointment schedule may not be totally booked at the start of your career; providers (doctors) must be willing to support the esthetician by recommending the esthetic services to their patients.

Hope this helps!

Pamela’s Answer

As with most Aestheticians, I started my career working in the Salon/Spa industry in 1998. This consisted of your basic deep cleansing facials, hydrating treatments, acne treatments and massage. The type of facial that is expected for relaxation and refreshing the skin. If your desire and passion is to truly help those patients/clients that suffer with severe acne, skin discolorations, and aging, then medical esthetics is the direction you should go. Working for a physician allows you to perform more aggressive treatments (within your scope of practice) with advanced skin care lines (according to their protocol) than what is offered in a salon/spa setting. Good luck with your future endeavors.

Rachel’s Answer

Being able to educate people about how to care for their skin is not just fun but a huge reward. Seeing them after learning and how beautiful their skin becomes is amazing. The way their self esteem is boosted and how they glow after a treatment in itself is rewarding. Your clients become close to you and trust you and your knowledge. I could not have picked a better career. Young to old your skin is a extremely important with a good skin care regimen it will last for years to come.
